America's Loneliest Highways
Presented by Henry Cole
Including out-takes and exclusive behind the scenes footage
Where in the world can you experience the ultimate motorcycle adventure against the backdrop of the most thrilling yet unforgiving landscape and at the same time with every mile that passes soak up a culture and a terrain that has become famous the world over in pop culture? There's no place on earth like the American Desert aboard an all American custom chopper.
Presenter Henry Cole embarks on one of America's most gruelling rides on America's east coast riding some 2100 miles from Boston in the North East to Key West, Florida, the most southern point in America, following the legendary US Route 1.
For this trip Henry has chosen to ride one of the most radical semi custom choppers in production, a Saxon Crown, with no front mudguard, little suspension and a poor excuse for a seat -- the world famous potholes of New York and the tropical rain of Florida will really test him and this beast of a bike to the limit!
Henry starts this ride of a lifetime reflecting on the culture and history of Boston before heading off down US1 into New York, a ride not for the faint hearted. After combating the frentism, weather and heinous traffic of new York, Henry rides south through Philadelphia and Washington D.C., before heading into the sublime sun drenched riding offered up in the states of North and South Carolina.
Henry soon leaves South Carolina and crosses the state line into Georgia revelling in a little light relief offered up by the Laurel and Hardy convention in Harlem, but the satire is short lived as the weather closes in heading into Florida with torrential tropical storms, not the best thing on a custom chop and with a lot of night riding ahead. Henry eventually arrives in Jacksonville, Florida for a spot of line dancing and to briefly dry out. Then its southward through Fort Lauderdale to Miami and finally on down some two hundred miles to journey's end in Key West.
Will this prove to be one of America's greatest motorcycle rides or one huge adventure not to be repeated?

No doubt a little saddle sore from covering over 25,000 in the US on his hog, Henry takes time out to reflect on his amazing American adventures. Looking back at the highlights and featuring brand new unseen footage, including an interview with legendary chopper builder Eddie Trotter, Henry gets misty-eyed at thoughts of travelling Route 66, Highway 1 and even Death Valley. If you're crazy enough to want to follow in his tyre tracks, he'll even tell you how

Europe's most beautiful road
Germany is home to Europe's most enthusiastic bikers, so there must be some incredible riding experiences to be had there which inspires this enthusiasm. Who better to sample this treasure of tarmac than Henry Cole, veteran of countless miles on a motorcycle? Henry begins his journey in Frankfurt, riding to Rottenburg on what is known as the Castle Route. That sounds suitably macho for a biker but wait, what's this? From Rottenburg Henry travels the Romantic Route, surely some mistake? Apparently not, as Henry discovers some picture postcard towns and stunning scenery along the road to Fьssen. Who says bikers aren't susceptible to a little romance? Take your opportunity to fall in love with the rural roads of Germany.

One Crazy Ride from the makers of Riding Solo to the Top of the World which has now clocked up 11 awards, featured in 21 film festivals and has received an award for Best International Documentary at the National Film Awards.
This long awaited new release of One Crazy Ride, in our opinion, is even better as it features not just 1 but 5 Royal Enfield Motorcycles battling against impossible terrain.
A motorcycle expedition on unchartered roads across the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, situated in North-east India, but more than an expedition, it's a film about friendship, camaraderie and the "never say die" attitude of five motorcyclists in the face of unforgiving terrain.
Shot without a back-up vehicle or film crew, in parts of India hardly seen, filmed or explored, the documentary captures the interactions and experiences of the riders who are trying to chart a route, which according to everyone, does not exist.
